This is the canny Moore’s
assessment of The Donald’s appeal to so many millions of American voters:

MICHAEL MOORE: I know a
lot of people in Michigan that are planning to vote for Trump and they don't
necessarily like him that much, and they don't necessarily agree with him.
They're not racist or rednecks, they're actually pretty decent people, and so
after talking to a number of them I wanted to write this:

'Donald Trump came to the Detroit Economic Club and stood there in front of
Ford Motor executives and said, "if you close these factories as you're
planning to do in Detroit and build them in Mexico, I'm going to put a 35%
tariff on those cars when you send them back and nobody's going to buy
them."

It was an amazing thing to see. No politician, Republican or Democrat, had ever
said anything like that to these executives, and it was music to the ears of
people in Michigan and Ohio and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- the
"Brexit" states.

You live here in Ohio, you know what I'm talking about. Whether Trump means it
or not, is kind of irrelevant because he's saying the things to people who are
hurting, and that's why every beaten-down, nameless, forgotten working stiff
who used to be part of what was called the middle class loves Trump. He is the
human molotov cocktail that they've been waiting for. The human hand grande
that they can legally throw into the system that stole their lives from them.

And on November 8, Election Day, although they lost their jobs, although
they've been foreclose on by the bank, and next came the divorce and now the
wife and kids are gone, the car's been repoed, they haven't had a real vacation
in years, they're stuck with the shitty Obamacare Bronze Plan where you can't
even get a fucking percocet. They've essentially lost everything they had,
except one thing -- the one thing that doesn't cost them a cent, and is
guaranteed to them by the American constitution: the right to vote.

They might be penniless, they might be homeless, they might be fucked over and
fucked up it doesn't matter, because it's equalized on that day - a millionaire
has the same number of votes as the person without a job: one.

And there's more of the former middle class than there are in the millionaire
class.

So on November 8, the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth, be handed a
ballot, close the curtain, and take that lever or felt pen or touchscreen and
put a big fucking X in the box by the name of the man who has threatened to
upend and overturn the very system that has ruined their lives: Donald J.
Trump.

They see that the elite who ruined their lives hate Trump. Corporate America
hates Trump. Wall Street hates Trump. The career politicians hate Trump. The
media hates Trump, after they loved him and created him, and now hate.

Thank you media: the enemy of my enemy is who I'm voting for on November 8.

Yes, on November 8, you Joe Blow, Steve Blow, Bob Blow, Billy Blow, all the
Blows get to go and blow up the whole goddamn system because it's your right.
Trump's election is going to be the biggest fuck ever recorded in human history
and it will feel good.

AMAZON 5-STAR REVIEW!

Like many of Glenn Ashton's other books, this one grabs you right away and doesn't let up until the very end.

The "Euros" will satisfy anyone who is a fan of the Rainbow Six and Private para-military groups fighting off the bad guys. However, they are a bit classier and less super-human, therefore much more believable.

In this case the bad guys are taken from the current headlines and set in both Notre Dame Cathedral and the sewers in Paris. The location is finely crafted and shows an obvious flair for detailed research.

This is a highly enjoyable read but don't expect to just read a bit and then put it down. That won't happen!

The Euros: Notre Dame Point Zero

What is my latest book - The Euros: Notre Dame Point Zero – about?

How would you rescue women and children held hostage in Notre Dame cathedral in Paris by a band of faceless, nameless and ruthless men, who have attached bombs to each hostage, and threaten to blow up the cathedral if their demands are not met?

That is the problem that The Euros face in this, the first book of the series about them.

The Euros is the name for the Euro Protection Bureau, the highly skilled, well trained super cops unit formed to protect the European Union from threats to its integrity.

With five headquarters – the Puzzle House in London, the Grooming House in Paris, the Toy House in Berlin, the Garage in Rome and the Story House in Prague - the PuzzleMaker and Headmaster, directors of the London and Paris HQs, have a limited time to find a way to make themselves invisible so that they may enter the cathedral, rescue the hostages, save the cathedral, and capture the Bad Guys.

As little children are marched to Point Zero in front of the cathedral, with flickering lights on their explosive vests, and the Headmaster is forced to go into the cathedral as a hostage, the PuzzleMaker turns to Knuckles, the leader of the Onsite Prediction Unit, to cast her knucklebones and help him anticipate the actions of the Bad Guys.

He also asks a young gypsy girl to help him, and the Gypsy takes him on a hair-raising trip through the catacombs and sewers of Paris.

Author Sarah Sheard reviewed my book, and wrote:

"I thought it absolutely fantastic in its usability and breadth. I'm a novelist who recently began ebook self-publishing. I've figured out some of the basics but this book maps a gazillion new pathways onward and upward.

I've found nothing to compare to this manual in clarity, range of topics and dip-in-ability. Ashton's been generous in offering this amount of research so affordably to ebook self-publishers at all levels. Written in a readable, friendly style too."
